The Relationship between Language and Spatial Ability - An Analysis of Spatial Language for Reconstructing the Solving of Spatial Tasks

This work investigates how different fifth-grade students solve spatial-verbal tasks and the role of language in this process. Based on a synthesis of theoretical foundations and methodological issues for supporting the relationship between spatial ability and language, this present study examines and classifies strategies used by students as well as the obstacles they encounter when solving spatial tasks in the reconstruction method.
